one of his sharpist critiques yet of president obama and the entitlement society that he enables. while conserve tests and fiscally conservative americans are applauding him, they are attempting to spin this into a gaffe. they are arguing mitt romney is engaging in class warfare and turning his back on voters. let's look at the video. it features gov romney speaking to supporters at a fundraiser way back in may. let's take a look. >> there are 47 percent of the people that are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to healthcare, to food, to housing, to you name it. that that's an entitlement. and the government should give it to them. and they will vote for this president no matter what. and i mean the president starts off with 48, 49. he starts off with a huge number. these are people who pay no income tax. forty-seven percent of americans pay no income tax. so our message of low tax doesn't connect. so he'll be out there talking about ta

on the part of the democrats. the language had been in platform in 2008. it's something that president obama believes in personally. in fact, he affirmed that to the apac conference when he was a candidate in 2008. this is something that is in the republican platform, something that mitt romney said on his recent july visit to israel. why those words, why the language was taken out is inexplicable. i talked to a number of democratic officials about it order to and they said they want the platform toe cussed op president obama unswerving commitment to israel security. as to why they took out jerusalem as the capital, none of them could say to me. it's back in again tonight. another controversy that erupted at exactly the same time when the language about "god" was taken out of the 2008 convention platform. talked about people being able to through the help of government reach their god-given potential. that was changed and people should be able to go as far as their own talent and drive could take them. i talked to some people about that today at the faith council. i talked to a local pastor

turned it to food stamp obama nation. war on jobs is crushing the middle class. as american cities declare bankruptcy for the first time ever. so, go ahead with "the view." go ahead with "letterman show." the clooney dinners. i understand you're eye candy. i understand you have your priorities. unfortunately, your priorities don't line up with ours. >> bob: that was very depressing. >> eric: it is depressing. >> bob: okay. >> eric: it is depressing. the man has time for the view and letterman but can't meet with netanyahu or tackle the major issues going on in america: jobs. >> bob: i would venture to say most presidents up for re-election, general assembly of the u.n. in september of election year don't have a lot of bilateral meetings -- >> dana: if you're going to say that, why don't you check it out first. we have polls who do things like that all day. >> bob: i checked in with -- >> dana: so you can say -- >> eric: we checked with the people in the brain room and they tell us for the first time in two decades, a sitting president hasn't met bye laterally with anybody. >> bob:

started. we'll look at what's ahead from the convention floor, plus president obama, rates himself on his handling of our economy. and the republicans respond. >> you've had 3 1/2 years to fix it, what grade would you give yourself so far? >> you know, i would say incomplete. >> shep: the white house says president obama just needs more time. republicans say time is up. >> this out of control deficit, this spiraling debt is not only a threat to our economy today, it is bankrupting the next generation. >> shep: tonight grading the president's performance on a defining issue in this election. and a look at julian castro. the young american mayor who is delivering the keynote address from his mother's influence. >> she gave me a sense that public service could be noble. >> to what supporters say about his similarities to the president. >> i'm very flattered by the comparisons. >> shep: how he's set to make history tonight. plus, michelle obama scheduled to take the stage to talk up her husband. but there is one thing you should absolutely not expect to hear her say. and how her speech could

believe the polls, president obama is pulling ahead from mitt romney. polls are polls and translating positive polls to voters come election day is something different. it appears that a post convention bump is fueling a mini surge for the president. chief political correspondent carl cameron breaks down the numbers. >> reporter: with polls showing president obama inching slightly ahead, romney rallied republicans in mansfield, ohio. historically a must-win state for g.o.p. hopeful. >> forward is his campaign slogan. forewarned is a better term. we know that would happen if we were re-elected. we have seen more years of high unemployment. more years of massive deficit. more years of cusp of crisis you are seeing in europe. we're forewarned and that is why we're not going to are elect this man. >> reporter: the president is ahead 50-45 in the buckeye state. the average poll puts obama edge at 2.2. in north carolina, where the national convention ended before last week's discouraging job report. the public policy poll says obama leads by one, virtual tie inside the margin of error. real

. >> president obama getting hammered on univision for not keeping a campaign promise on immigration. >> and why wasn't your administration better prepared to more security at our embassies on september 11th. >> we will analyze what was not a good day for the president. >> we saw no evidence to back up claims by others that this was a preplanned or premeditated attack. >> bill: that was the administration line right after our ambassador was murdered but within hours it changed. geraldo rivera will tell us why. ♪ i'm dreaming of a white president just like the ones we always had ♪ >> bill: has singer randy newman lost his mind? two white guys, gutfeld and mcgirk will have some thoughts. caution. you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. are american voters in a fog? that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. a new fox news poll contains surprising data from the key swing states of florida, ohio and virginia. voter there's apparently believe the economic policies of barack obama have helped more than

'm ali velshi and this is "your $$$$$." let's start with the man at the top. >> obama! obama! >> reporter: barack obama promised change. >> this is our chance to turn the page on the policies of the last seven and a ha years. >> reporter: the promises he made were big and they were specific. >> we are going to roll back the bush tax cuts. >> reporter: instead,' greed to extend those tax cuts for two more years, in a compromise to get republicans to extend jobless benefits to millions of unemployed americans. >> i have no doubt that everyone will find something in this compromise that they don't like. in fact, there are things in here that i don't like. >> reporter: barack obama promised to clean up the financial sector. >> we've got to solve this banking crisis. >> reporter: but opposition in congress watered the reforms down. banks are still risking your money. some say wall street is as treacherous as ever. barack obama promised foreclosure relief. >> we're going to put together a foreclosure fund to help people stay in their homes. >> reporter: his multiple plans did help, but fell far

clinton could steal barack obama's thunder at the democratic national convention. >> ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. [applaus [applause]. >> mike: hello everybody, thank you. thank you very much, great crowd here today in new york. and welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. having just returned from the republican national convention in tampa i've got some thoughts, for one thing, that magic moment with clint eastwood, pretty spectacular, really. we've been trying to get president obama on this show for years, he's turned us down every time. now i know it's really easy, and we just bring the chair out. so (applause) >> maybe if i have the chair, he will magically appear. just like harry reid's imagery friends tend to appear from time to time. [applause] >> we really didn't miss losing that first night at the convention canceled because of the possibility of bad weather. oh, it was a tough, but appropriate call given the weather forecast. and by the way, the three big networks were only going to cover one hour each night skraen way. and so, had ther

a new friend. look at libya. you now have hacks covering for obama coming out gainst american values. take a look at slate. where one guy faults the united states for the silly first amendment. it's not them. it's us. i say we are turning in to big brother, but that's racist. >> eric: oh! >> bob: there's a start right there. >> greg: thank you. i am on muscle relaxants, no wonder what i did there. >> kimberly: no wonder you're so friendly. >> greg: i'm friendly all the time. you just ignore me. you talk about the polls. i want to talk about rush limbaugh. he's talking about how the polls reflect the mind set or ideology of democrats, not america as whole. take it from there. >> the purpose of the people right now, most of them doing the polls, they're trying to make news, not reflect it. advancing an agenda. they all have different jobs. the polls are the replacement refs. they watch and they see certain things and don't see other things. they don't call certain things. other things go by. it has to be some truth to that, right? >> bob: no. they're not all republicans or democrats. r

and from the breaking news we cited at the top of the show. all of this contradicts what the obama administration has been telling you. this attack was, in fact, planned. it was coordinated and it was, in fact, connected to 9/11. it's time for the administration to tell you, the american people, the truth. i certainly know that the families of these four dead americans, they deserve to know the truth, and as to each and every one of you. joining me now former new york city mayor, rudy giuliani. how are you? >> fine. how are you? >> instead of attacking mitt romney when i saw the images of our am basscy being breached, our flag being burned, you said this ten seconds too early, two hours, why are we asking the question why, on the anniversary of 9/11, did we not have beefed-up security, especially in the light of the fact we learned that the libyans gave us three warning that this could possibly happen? >> i think this is an attempt by the administration, this whole conversation, susan rice and the people that were on television. this is an attempt to kind of spin your way out of it

of the democratic convention in sharyl. president obama makes a surprise visit after bill clinton brings the delegates to their feet. >>> we'll ask two top advisers what the president will say tonight and we'll speak with caroline kennedy also. >>> a bizarre bank robbery straight out of the movies leaves los angeles police baffled. plus andy roddick's emotional farewell at the u.s. open. >>> we begin with a look at today's eye-opener. your world in 90 seconds. >>> i want to nominate a man who is cool on the outside but who burns for america on the inside. >> bill clinton defends president obama and makes the case for reelection. >> are we better off than we were when he took office? the answer is yes. >> the weather playing a role in the convention. president obama will not deliver his address at an outdoor football stadium. >> apparently the campaign is concerned about this well-known weather phenomenon known as empty seats. >> a broken off remnant of isaac is making a second appearance in the gulf of mexico. that could mean more downpours, flash flooding from louisiana to the florida p

bill: so finale tonight, president obama taking the stage at 10:00 eastern, make sure you keep it here for the best coverage in prime time. i thought last night was a little down up until president clinton came out, so we'll see how tonight goes. martha: i agree. president obama, of course, will be on the floor for the special tonight. we will see you there. jenna: we certainly will, first, let's take a look at the markets that are rallying up more than 200 points. a few reasons for that today including some news out of europe that, yes, a market is going to be created to buy government bonds. what does that mean? it means, potentially, there's a market in customers to buy debt from some of the regions in europe that are suffering so much under their own crushing debt that they don't know what to do with it. so that's one of the reasons why we're seeing the markets up today. also, too, jobless claims, the amount of americans filing for unemployment and also a private sector report on job growth came in better than expected, and that's ahead of the big jobs report tomorrow. so s

a special report. >> if you can't beat barak obama with this record, then shut down the party. >> some conservative commentators say if republicans cannot win the presidency this year, the party is through. what does sarah palin think about that? she will be here. >> yeah, well, the flag means different things. but basically about revolutionary union. >> 350,000 students in chicago out of school because of a teacher strike that some think is being annual tated by -- did she agitated by socialists. john stossel has been investigating. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. "the factor" begins right now. >> hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight only this 11th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. according to the congressional research service, the war on terror has cost america $1.4 trillion. that includes the wars in iraq examine afghanistan and money for veterans and other military expenditures. it does not include security within the usa. under president obama, the war on terror has cost about $569 bi

're just what i needed ♪ >> it began as president barack obama prepares to make his argument for re-election just hours away from a high profile closing act at the democratic convention tonight where he's expected to lay out his ambitions for a second term. the president's acceptance of the democratic nomination follows a forceful endorsement from former president bill clinton, who can too the stage last night with a few hundred things that he wanted to get off his chest. the former president offering an absolute eadvieadvice -- eviscen of the republican ticket, all with a wink and a smile. >> it went something like this. we left him a total mess. he hasn't cleaned it up fast enough. so fire him and put us back in. >> yes, indeed, clinton systematically shattered every arrow in the republicans' quiver, including the gop's claim that they, not the president, are the job creators. >> in the last 29 months, our economy has produced about 4.5 million private sector jobs. we could have done better, but last year the republicans blocked the president's job plan, costing the economy more t

, president obama spoke out about all of this on the campaign trail today. >>> people around the world, i want people to hear me, to all those who would do us harm, no act of terror will go unpunished. it will not dim the light of the values that we proudly present to the rest of the world. no act of violence shakes the resolve of the united states of america. >> secretary of state, hillary clinton, tonight paid tribute to the two security personnel killed alongside ambassador chris stevens. tyrone wood and glen dougherty. she said, this violence should shock people of all faiths and traditions. people of conscience and good will every we are must stand together against violence, hate and division. we have two reporters covering this story for us. arwa damon is in tripoli. ben wedeman is in cairo. let me go to arwa. you are in benghazi for us right now. what's the scene like there? >> well, everyone we have been speaking to and i literally just landed here two hours ago, is incredibly distraught of what took place. they are in utter shock and want to make clear how anguished they are over what

the country's economy to the cliff. president obama, when i interviewed him for the book said they were days away from having $5 billion in the u.s. treasury. that's it. now, that's half a day's federal spending. if you think about it, to let that happen -- not just the president, but the republicans -- could have said -- sent shockwaves through the country, could have done things to the american economy that tim geithner, the treasury secretary said would have been worse than the 1930s depression. >> sean: i mean, it's so dysfunctional. it's far worse than we ever said. here's what really bothers me in all of this. we have 25 million un- and under-employed americans. one in six americans in poverty. 49 million americans on food stamps in this country. we are really -- and nearly $6 trillion at the end of obama's first term in new debt. this is be a game anymore. this is about as serious a crisis as we have faced since the great depression and getting worse. >> and this was last year. they fixed it by postponing everything. >> sean: yeah. >> no cut, no tax increases. no sensible alinement o

to privatize everything. the obama campaign has also responded. it's shocking that a candidate for president of the united states would go behind closed doors and declare to a group of wealthy donors that half the american people view themselves as victims entitled to handouts and are unwilling to take personal responsibility for their own lives. it's hard to serve as president for all americans when i have disdainfully written off half of the nation. that's exactly what mitt romney has done here with this statement behind closed doors. for months on this program, i have asked, will the real mitt romney stand up? we saw the real mitt romney. he did behind closed doors. he doesn't give a damn about those who needs assistance in this country and that we are a society, we are a country of compassion. we want to help people who are downtrodden. we want to help those who were dealt a tough deck of cards, whether it be in the economy, or whether it be health care, as of no fault of their own, or circumstances put on families that are totally out of their control. mitt romney wants to do away with

on the anniversary of 9/11? paul ryan slamming the obama administration over its response. >> i disagree with the original statements that the embassy put out, that the administration put out in cairo, sympathizing with the people who are storming the embassy. we should stand up for our values values and free speech rights. i think that statement was wrong. >> greta: see much more of our interview with congressman ryan. is president obama more worried about winning the election or fighting off terrorists? here's what rush limbaugh thinks. >> the obama camp, the campaign, the white house and the media all condemned romney before they condemned the attacks. obama thought it more worthwhile to hit romney for what he was doing than the terrorrives for what they did. >> greta: you hear much more from rush limbaugh, straight ahead. but first, you are looking live at the u.s. embass necairo, egypt. it is 4:00 a.m., protesters are back outside, our embassy and the protests are turning violent. all night, we are going to be monitoring the live pictures from cairo and sarah palin, blasting preside

in with michele obama, a portion of michele obama's speech, what did you think of it? >> it was a great speech, it really was. so many personal anecdotes you could visualize. we were talking last week about how ann romney said a lot of great things about mitt romney but never gave you the visuals. john said it best. who in america are in that convention hall -- or in that convention hall watching the speech didn't get the image of a loving father struck with ms, seeing his two children sat the top of the stairs and fighting and struggling to get up those stairs to hug his children at the end of the day or fighting and struggling to get out of bad to go to work to give them a slice of the american dream. it was an absolutely fantastic speech. and the great line, absolutely loved the line, that being president doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are. >> very personal, very revealing but it also might have accomplished something in terms of touching on some key areas that might have needed some work, not that the president, you would think, had a problem with the women's vote. >> right

in president obama's record that they want to vote against him whether they like mitt romney or not. those votes are in the bag. he has to win this election, winning over remaining undecideds. to secure the votes he will have to talk about job creation. he has to talk about how he will create 12 million new jobs. how he gets us out of a rut and why he feels so positive about his leadership. he has to sell himself. the way to do that is to be out more, to be more specific and more emphatic and more enthusiastic. thus far he hasn't done good enough job of selling his message. if he had he would be ahead of an unpopular president in a bad economy in the polls. jon: on that score you write this, most astounding through one poor jobs report after another in the worst economy in the, i'm sorry in the worst recovery the country has ever experienced, romney has the, i'm sorry, we're trying to get this up on the screen. romney has managed to erase his own advantage on who is best equipped to improve the struggling economy. polls show romney has eroded this critical edge, as romney has eroded this c

and ryan grim, making his debut the washington bureau chief for "the huffington post." president obama has emerged from the conventions with a slight edge. a gallup poll shows president obama with a five point need nationally up on governor romney. that is not the real story. no matter how tight the popular vote remains it's the lec it torl college and ten swing states that will decide this election. right now the power ten are ohio, florida, north carolina, virginia, new hampshire, colorado, nevada, iowa, wisconsin, and michigan. memorize those states. they make up a whopping 126 electoral votes. given this, it's perhaps totally not that surprising at all that president obama has been campaigning in new hampshire, iowa and florida since friday. in the same period, governor romney has hit iowa, new hampshire, virginia and travels to ohio today. as a backgrounder, in 2008, president obama won all of these states in contention. this year, polling in key tossup states is making the romney campaign very, very nervous, especially in ohio. leading up to the conventions, president obama held a si

with a nuclear weapon is unacceptable, and by the way, i'm quite sure president obama when he says that, he means it and intends to stand by it. i think america is also giving a very strong message to iran, but everybody wants to resolve this without a conflict because that is sensible and the best way of doing it, because the consequences of any conflict would be very serious, profoundly unpredictable. >> let's see what bjamin netanyahu today. he had this extraordinary chart he produced which was very effective. take a look. >> so how much enriched uranium do you need for a bomb? and how close is iran to getting it. let me show you. brought a diagram for you. here's the diagram. >> there was the diagram. he went on to show where the red line was. he basically said look, the process and speed of the enriching of uranium going on in iran, they could have a nuclear bomb ready to use by next summer. do you believe that? do you have any evidence for that? have you seen anything -- >> look, what the evidence is is something i wouldn't really comment on and by the way, there will be a lot of informatio
